Abstract:
Objective To establish the HPLC fingerprint of Liujing Toutong Tablets (LTT) and multi-wavelength method for determination of the contents of 3’-hydroxy puerarin, puerarin, daidzin, nuezhenide, and daidzein, so as to provide a reference for the quality control. Methods Using the method of HPLC, the fingerprint chromatography of high polarity and low polarity were established, with a mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid and Diamonsil C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm). Furtherly, the Diamonsil C18 column was used with a mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.1% acetic acid gradient elution to determine the five contents. Results The fingerprint chromatography of high and low polarities with 11 batches of LTT were established, and the similarities of 11 batches were all over 0.90. The low polarity fingerprint chromatography included 16 mutual peaks, 12 of which belonged to herbs: No. 11, 12, 13 belonged to Angelicae Dahuricae Radix, No. 1, 2, 3, 7 belonged to Puerariae Lobatae Radix, No. 8 belonged to Ligustri Lucidi Fructus, No. 5, 6 belonged to Chuanxiong Rhizoma, No. 15 belonged to Ligustici Rhizoma et Radix and No. 4 belonged to Chuanxiong Rhizoma and Ligustici Rhizoma et Radix. Seven peaks including puerarin (No. 1), 3’-methoxy puerarin (No. 2), daidzin (No. 3), ferulic acid (No. 4), daidzein (No. 7), imperatorin (No. 11), and isoimperatorin (No. 13) were verified by standard compounds. The high polarity fingerprint chromatography included 10 mutual peaks, among them No. 2-9 belonged to Puerariae Lobatae Radix, No. 1, 10 belonged to Ligustri Lucidi Fructus. Five peaks including 3’-hydoxypuerarin (No. 2), puerarin (No. 3), 3’-methoxypuerarin (No. 4), daidzin (No. 7) and specnuezhenide (No. 10) were verified by standard compounds. The five active components were well separated and showed good lineaeity, such as 3’-hydroxy puerarin 71.60-716.00 ng (r = 0.999 1), puerarin 407.78-4 077.80 ng (r = 0.999 4), daidzin 90.72-907.20 ng (r = 0.999 9), nuezhenide 95.80-958.00 ng (r = 0.999 1), daidzein 21.98-219.80 ng (r = 0.999 9). The average recoveries and corresponding RSD values were 101.1% (1.38%), 97.8% (0.72%), 99.1% (0.75%), 97.8% (2.75%), and 98.7% (0.70%). The contents of 3’-hydoxypuerarin, puerarin, daidzin, specnuezhenide and daidzein in the 10 batches of sample were 3.08-3.84 mg/mL, 17.71-21.24 mg/mL, 3.51-4.71 mg/mL, 1.40-5.69 mg/mL, and 0.66-0.86 mg/mL, respectively. Conclusion The HPLC fingerprint combined with multi index determination method can reflect the intrinsic quality of LTT, which is stability, accurate, and reproducible, providing a scientific reference for quality control.
